#1 Thing Holding You Back

Because when you do so, you are validating it. You are the reason that “you can’t”.

You are putting yourself at a disadvantage.

There is something called the “Law of Attraction”, which essentially states the science-base fact that the more you think something, the more you attract it. So when you think you can’t… you are attracting the “can’t” factor more than normal, and even worse, more than the “can factor”.

Here is an excerpt from my 21 Day Power Up, a step by step guide to the most powerful mindset of your life:

“Story time: You are scaling the side of a massive mountain trying to reach the top (maybe your favorite jar of nut butter is there), there are 100 people watching from the ground….

Scenario A: Those 100 people are laughing at you, whispering to each other ‘there is no way you’ll make it’, and making sneering comments at you for even trying. What happens? You feel defeated, upset, you lose confidence, and it becomes difficult, almost impossible for you to reach the top as a result. You get discouraged.

Scenario B: Those 100 people are clapping, cheering you on, chanting to you that ‘you got this’! What happens? You feel confident, empowered, strong, and as a result you feel lifted and climb higher and higher. You are encouraged.”

These scenarios reflect flawlessly to today’s topic of mindset. Those 100 people are the thoughts going through your mind at any given moment; when they are negative, when they are telling you that “you can’t” they are holding you back, causing you to fail; but, when they are positive, when they are telling you that “you can” they are lifting you up and allowing you to succeed.

So, please, do not tell me that “you can’t”. Remove it from your vocabulary right now. Don’t let something as simple as a thought rob you of what you want and where you want to be. Don’t make things harder for yourself. Align your thoughts, align your mindset, and conquer your dreams. Anything is possible, the first step is simply believing. Start right now.
